The semi-circular shaped Corroboree Park was planned and created in the 1920s as part of the Canberra garden city subdivision. Originally exotic and deciduous trees were planted, but now mainly large native eucalyptus remain. A ribbon gum in the north east corner is said to be over 40 metres tall and one of the tallest trees in Canberra. The park is used for recreational activities and has tennis courts and picnic areas. It is thought that the area was used by indigenous people prior to the 1880s and may have been a Corroboree or meeting ground.
